Tech help please
My 04 350 Had a stumble at idle that took about a year to get sorted.HPOP check valve (THANKS Blackhat -Ford dealer had it for three days and couldnt sort it but you did over the internet).This past week I have had a hot restart problem truck turns over but will not start hot.Once it cools for 10 minutes or less it has a long (5-10 second) crank and fires upand runs like a top.Is there another place in the hpop system that likely needs attention or is it more than likely the IPR.By the way the IPR is just about the last sensor that is orignal.The check engine light came on today but the sct reads no codes,I will have it read by a snap on fancy tool in the morning.Which codes point the finger at the IPR.Truck is early 04 straight pipe ,spartan tow injectors with the street tune on the sct ,no egr cooler and 178000km.There isnt a ford tech that I trust anywhere near me so I will have to do it myself.Thanks for any help.(AGAIN)LOL

the sct is a great programmer, but a crappy code reader for sure.
not sure on which codes to look for, but just see what you get. i know that mine would crank a long time before starting but once it started it ran GREAT , and i changed the batteries and it fires up almost instantly. everything checked out okay when i tested them so i didnt suspect batteries at first... but i didnt' have the hotstart problem so more than likely there's something else going on.

Thanks Guys.Problem was a hamfisted bricklayer didnt check injector plugs to make sure all the clips were locked.# 3 set a code.Though its still a little long cranking she fires up hot.Now to check the fuel system to see if she wants some more of my time and money.The longer I have this truck the more it seems like a woman.

If you decide to get a scanner, i would recommend the Auto Enginuity "Total Ford ScanTool Bundle" best $380 you will spend on a diagnostic tool.

Note the heads can be milled slightly if they are not flat, max is about .008, do not let the head thickness get below 3.660. If it takes more than this to make the heads flat, they will need to be trashed and replaced with new.
Give Matt a call and pick his brain for any other tips he may have.
